To think that Cheryl F-V's 'romance' with Liam Payne is a publicity stunt

[SeaMagic]

I mean who really gives a crap who she's shagging but oh no, she has to offer hints via social media and then the big unveiling of this latest celebrity 'couple', photos of them hand-in-hand on a dinner date [vom]

And just in case any of the plebs don't quite get that this is 'true love', she wears a big fuck off gold necklace spelling it out

Is Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, or whatever the fuck her surname is this week, a big tedious, attention seeking bore or AIBU?

[buildalegohouse]

Hollie - I am so excited to 'meet you'. Were you following the gay teddy bear "conspiracy" too? I can't believe RBB is gone.

[Arpege]

I think I need a link to the fake Freddie story...

[buildalegohouse]

Arpege - Google tumblr babygate and you'll find so much. Beware the rabbit hole...you have been warned.

[hollieberrie]

Yes - squeeee!! I am literally bouncing!

Gutted that RBB is gone. Once that happened i thought it would all start to unravel, but still waiting....

The Jungleworths are veeery quiet though so perhaps that's a first indication.

[Cocolepew]

I thought the first photos of them together, him and her in the car for example, were piss takes. I thought it was a lookalike

[Cocolepew]

This one.

[buildalegohouse]

They are very quiet. The custody battle articles have started though so a paternity denial must be to follow. We haven't had any more photoshopped pics of 'Freddie' recently either.

I love RBB. When it all comes out no one will believe it ever happened. I am -not- ashamed to say I texted him!

I'm sorry to everyone else for high jacking this thread. We should start a new one. Everyone must think we are crazy.

[TheSpottedZebra]

What is RBB?
I thought I was quite good on the old gossip front

[ThinkAboutItTomorrow]

A few weeks ago The mirror, the sun and the DM all ran stories that her latest was a guy she was spotted with at London Fashion week. In fact he's the guy from LOreal there as part of her spokesperson gig. He's also very definitely gay. None of this was cooked up by publicists, just the papers making stuff up because two people of the opposite sex were photographed together.

[hollieberrie]

Yes - i tried to tell my Real Life friends and they thought i was totally mad..

I keep hoping RBB will be back. There have been a few little Larry hints starting in the media - saying Harry will be thanking Louis when he wins an Oscar, and calling Harry and Lindsay Lohan "Larry" even though obvs nothing happened there. I cant wait for it to all come out! Maybe once Cowell is finally out of the picture.

Have you seen Briana's grandma on social media - she's nearly given the game away all by herself!

[Arpege]

Ok I give up, I've looked on tumblr and I don't get the Freddie stuff at all....

Louis got a girl pg from a fling, she had the baby and what? He's got a new gf but what's the implication? That he doesn't want to see the baby? That the baby doesn't exist?

And what's RBB? I'm so confused.

[hollieberrie]

Zebra - well its quite boring unless you are interested in One Direction, but RBB is a toy bear who had his own twitter account. He lived a kind of rock n roll party lifestyle on tour with One Direction and dropped a lot of hints about Larry Stylinson being real (i.e. Harry and Louis are a couple). The twitter account is widely believed to have been run by Louis and Harry from 1D.

[buildalegohouse]

Grandma jungleworm is tapped. She has said she isn't allowed to discuss Freddie anymore. What a shock.

I still couldn't pick Briana out of a line up. I swear she is a different person every time we get a new photo of her.

[buildalegohouse]

Arpege- Louis allegedly got this girl pregnant from a one night stand last March. However there were rumours that he was having a baby in the press from January. Then the news he was going to be a dad broke before the 12 week mark of the pregnancy. Just before news broke Louis threw a toy doll off stage and said 'it's not real. It's not a real baby.'
There were many inconsistencies in the timeline of when Briana fell pregnant. Her bump seemed to grow/ shrink/ disappear from picture to picture and Louis was painfully awkward on the rare occasion it was allowed to be brought up in interviews.

There are many other reasons that people don't believe there is a baby or that there is a baby but it is not Louis' but those are some of the key details.

[Arpege]

If there's no baby why would they make it up? Pregnant from a one night stand isn't going to make anyone look good is it? Plus he either looks like a rat who doesn't see his kid or he seriously compromises his career to spend him with him?

Makes no sense.

[Alisvolatpropiis]

To be fair re the Briana/Louis fake baby rumours, my bump seemed to change size depending on the position the baby was in. I haven't seen any photos though so no idea if her bump changed dramatically in size.

[Arpege]

spend time

So many of these rumours fall down on the big why? WHY would you make most of this stuff up? There's no reason.

And ffs if you can't admit to being gay in the 21st century. Fuck all respect for that.

[VertigoNun]

Yes I thought it was a publicly stunt.

What's the latest with drain laughter Steph who dated someone in 1D and Jez?

[buildalegohouse]

Sadly there are many, many closeted celebs and the only answer to the massive resounding why? of the fans is that it is to get Louis' name in the tabloids and build his profile as a straight adult and break away from the teenage image associated with 1D. Notice how many pap pictures Louis is now seen smoking in. Until all this happened we never saw Louis in the papers without the other boys and now we see him at least once a week in the tabloids selling the image of an adult (look at me, I smoke and I have had sex by putting my penis in a lady - I'm so straight. I even made a baby so you can't question that I have had straight sex. With a lady.)

[VagueIdeas]

And ffs if you can't admit to being gay in the 21st century. Fuck all respect for that.

I know, it's crazy that people are dissuaded from coming out these days, but they are. There are so many huge stars with very longstanding gay rumours - and they always seem to end up "dating" the same women. I swear Irina Shayk is a professional beard

The Louis/fake baby thing is fascinating. I couldn't sing you a 1D song but I've been following a Twitter account that's been claiming he end result will be "not his". I love the murky world of celeb gossip

[hollieberrie]

Lego I couldn't either! They all do look remarkably similar (B, the mother, various cousins).
All quiet on the cutesie black & white father son shots front too, maybe Louis' photoshop guy is away on holiday.

Arpege agree and think its hard for us to understand here in the UK, but in a lot of countries it could damage revenue, sales, popularity etc. I think possibly a lot of the actual celebs don't care about that but their management and record companies really do - they want to make as much profit as possible. And those contracts are very tight and hard to get out of.

[hollieberrie]

The film "Artifact" on Netflix about Jared Leto's band 30 Seconds to Mars is a shocking insight into the greediness of record companies and the extent to which they control their artists. I recommend! Also, and obviously much much worse, the recent Kesha v Sony case.

[JolseBaby]

Dunno about the 1D baby, but Jonas -

If you read BG (and they wrote a LOT about it over the 10 month period), the very condensed version of alleged events was:

Family in financial doo-doo. Interest in the band tailing off but spending has carried on in the expectation of $$$$ which have not materialised.

Fake marriage between K&D - lots of blind sites writing about the fact that K is apparently gay, so the relationship/wedding was a front because the Jonas brand is heavily into the holy side of things. This way the conservative sponsor side of things is kept happy, plus lots of publicity about the wedding. Both families in on the truth.

Reality show for K&D follows but Kardashian-type success eludes them, basically because they are fairly boring. Apparently avaricious and strangers to the truth, but boring nonetheless. Spending has however continued unabated and the family now faces a real crisis. The music side of things is not working well (separate story about another family member struggling with drug addiction which is covered up).

So a fake pregnancy is cooked up because it could be sponsored (and was, by Dreft). Prosthetic tummies and scan pics procured and lots of magazine coverage (which pays) about it all. At this point it all starts to get very interesting. BG alleges that it was around this time that they got wind of it all being a publicity stunt and started running blinds.

Supposedly the family had originally planned to announce a MC - because there was no baby to produce - however this course of action was closed off once the gossip sites started writing about the rumours. For credibility they had to produce a child. The issue was that they'd apparently never intended to do so, so by the time they'd realised this it was very late in the game to try and find an adoption match, made even more challenging by the fact that they'd already told the world that they were having a girl. Apparently this was why the EDD kept moving back - she was originally due in early January but the date moved back over a month.

Why? Money? Publicity? Pig-headedness? Who knows? Who knows even if it's true?! It's entertaining though - the article about the baby shoot was really strange!

[tabulahrasa]

I don't care if they're fake or not...I want them to procreate and have an osmondesque tiny 1d or girls aloud...

[VertigoNun]

Is there a baby now?
